Is John McNulty ready to hand Rutgers' offense to a freshman QB? ' If he's the best guy, he plays'

During his final season as the Tennessee Titans' quarterbacks coach, John McNulty mentored Marcus Mariota, the No. 2 overall NFL Draft pick in 2015, who ended up starting 12 games as a rookie.

Keep that in mind as McNulty helps oversee the biggest decision looming over the Rutgers football program this offseason.

Is McNulty willing to hand the keys to his offense to a true freshman? There are two early enrolled freshmen in spring camp — Artur Sitkowski and Jalen Chatman — competing with a sophomore (Johnathan Lewis), two walk-ons (Tom Flacco and Rob Nittolo) and a redshirt senior (Giovanni Rescigno) with 12 career starts under his belt.
